Abstract
A simultaneous phase-shift point diffraction interferometer and method for detecting wave aberration. The interferometer comprises an ideal spherical wave generation module, an optical system to be measured, an image plane mask, a polarization phase shift module, a two-dimensional polarization imaging photodetector and a data processing unit. Single photodetector is adopted to realize simultaneous detection of more than three phase shift interference patterns, and has the advantages that environmental interference suppression, a flexible optical path, high measurement accuracy, and calibration of system errors of the interferometer may be realized.
